1. This is awesome and amazing and should be celebrated
2. This person looks SO HAPPY and I love that for them
3. That Snorlax is crocheted. Crochet cannot be replicated by machine. It physically cannot... So someone, a human, made that thing, by HAND. As a crocheter myself, that is incredible and should also be celebrated.
I want to cry. I am a crocheter and it takes me an hour, an hOUR. To make a single octopus! And said octopus (right) is only maybe 3-4 inches tall. The jellyfish (left) takes me a little over and hour because it’s a little bigger, but still.
It’s also a lot of mind numbing repetition over and over and over. My hand starts to cramp after consistent crocheting for three or more hours. So just the fact that someone has the time, patience, materials, and creativity to be able to do something like the Snorlax? Damn, you have all my respect.
